The wood details are amazing Looking at this converted ?Helga? house truck, you?d never know it was once a home for horses rather than humans. Built for a client by the Somerset, England-based tiny home construction company House Box, the mobile home is a renovated 1989 Mercedes 814 truck.
?When Helga first arrived she was still very much a horse-box (complete with hay and poo!),? the company wrote on its Facebook page. Now, it?s a quirky haven filled with warm paneling and rustic details.
The prominent use of naturally shaped wood for the stair column and framing around the opening of the sleeping loft is a particularly homey detail not often seen in tiny homes. There?s also ample built-in seating (with storage underneath, ?natch) and a table that can be installed beside the benches or hidden away.
The home also features a darling little kitchen with blue cabinets and copper accents. The wood counter has a nice natural edge, and a section that pulls up to reveal the small sink. A cabinet opposite the kitchen conceals some of the truck?s mechanical systems, including the batteries for its solar panels. There?s also a full bathroom with a shower lined with corrugated metal.

We were super lucky to meet up with Dean from @houseboxhousebox for a tour of Helga a couple of days before she went to her new owners. Here's a sneak peak of our most in depth tour yet! #vanlife A post shared by The Indie Projects ...
